Viscometric properties of dilute polystyrene/dioctyl phthalate solutions

We report viscometric data collected in a Couette rheometry on dilute, single‐solvent polystyrene (PS)/dioctyl phthalate (DOP) solutions over a variety of polymer molecular weights (5.5 × 10⁵ ≤ M_w ≤ 3.0 × 10⁶ Da) and system temperatures (288 K ≤ T ≤ 318 K). In view of the essential viscometric features, the current data may be classified into three categories: The first concerns all the investigated solutions at low shear rates, where the solution properties are found to agree excellently with the Zimm model predictions. The second includes all sample solutions, except for high‐molecular‐weight PS samples (M_w ≥ 2.0 × 10⁶ Da), where excellent time–temperature superposition is observed for the steady‐state polymer viscosity at constant polymer molecular weights. No similar superposition applies at a constant temperature but varied polymer molecular weights, however. The third appears to be characteristic of dilute high‐molecular‐weight polymer solutions, for which the effects of temperature on the viscosity curve are further complicated at high shear rates. The implications concerning the relative importance of hydrodynamic interactions, segmental interactions, and chain extensibility with increasing polymer molecular weight, system temperature, and shear rate are discussed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Morphology and tensile properties of glass bead filled low density polyethylene composites: MATERIAL PROPERTIES

The mechanical properties of glass bead filled low density polyethylene (LDPE) composites in tension have been investigated by using an Instron material testing machine. It is found that with increase of the glass bead weight fraction (φ) the tensile modulus (E_c) and the tensile yield stress (σ_yc) increase as a form of nonlinear function but contrary to the elongation strain at break; the correlation between E_c and φ accords with the logarithmic mixing rule and the relationship between σ_y and the volume fraction (φ_f) can be described by means of a second order equation; the effects of the glass bead diameter on the mechanical properties are not large; when φ and the bead size are suitable, the enhanced toughness effect of the filled-systems is more significant; the tensile strength of the glass bead filled system pretreated with a coupling agent are somewhat greater than those of the untreated system. In addition, the morphology of the samples is studied to explain the relationship between the micro-structure and the mechanical properties of the composites.     

Preparation and Properties of Urease Immobilized onto Glutaraldehyde Cross-linked Chitosan Beads

Urease was immobilized onto the glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan beads that were prepared under microwave irradiation. The activity and the yield of activity of immobilized urease was 10.83 U/g B and 47.7%, respectively. The conditions of urease immobilization were optimized. The properties of the immobilized urease were investigated and compared with that of the free enzyme.     

Ionic liquid–modified cellulosic hydrogels for loading and sustained release of selenourea: an ensuing inhibition of tyrosinase activity

Cellulose-based hydrogel materials were prepared and modified with tannic acid and l-methionine using ionic liquid as the solvent. The gels were prepared to develop a sustained release medium for selenourea (SeU). The drug delivery characteristics of selenourea-loaded cellulose (CSeU), selenourea-loaded tannic acid-modified cellulose (CTSeU), and selenourea-loaded L-methionine-modified cellulose (CMSeU) were investigated in aqueous media and simulated gastric fluid (SGF) media. This modified gel beads have been characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope, X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis and swelling properties and compared with those of the unmodified ones. We also investigated the inhibitory effects of SeU released from these gels on the activity of mushroom tyrosinase. Out of all the gel materials, CTSeU showed maximum SeU release both in water and SGF media. However, tyrosinase inhibitory action in PBS medium was comparable for all the three gel materials.     

Immobilization,characterization, and laboratory-scale application of bovine liver arginase

Arginase isolated from beef liver was covalently attached to a polyacrylamide bead support bearing carboxylic groups activated by a water-soluble carbodiimide. The most favorable carbodiimide wasN-cyclohexyl-Nt’-(methyl-2-p-nitrophenyl-2-oxoethyl) aminopropyl carbodiimide methyl bromide, but for practical purposes,N-cyclohexyl-Nt’-morpholinoethyl carbodiimide methyl tosylate was used. The optimal conditions for the coupling procedure were determined. The catalytic activity of the immobilized arginase was 290–340 U/g solid or 2.9–3.4 U/mL wet gel. The pH optimum for the catalytic activity was pH 9.5, the apparent temperature maximum was at 60°C and K_mapp was calculated to be 0.37M L-arginine. Immobilization markedly improved the conformational stability of arginase. At 60°C, the pH for maximal stability was found to be 8.0. The immobilized arginase was used for the production of L-ornithine and D-arginine.     

Preparation and evaluation of uniform-sized molecularly imprinted polymer beads used for the separation of sulfamethazine

Uniform-sized molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) beads were prepared using a one-step swelling and polymerization method. The obtained sulfamethazine (SMZ)-imprinted polymer showed high affinity and selectivity toward SMZ and other structurally related sulfonamides in acetonitrile or water-acetonitrile mobile phases, particularly in high aqueous systems. The column performance of the MIPs for SMZ and its analogues could be improved by elevating the column temperature and optimizing the flow rate. The hydrogen-bonding effect plays a significant role in the recognition process of SMZ-imprinted polymer systems in organic media, while the ion-exchange effect, as well as hydrophobic effect, dominates the retention mechanism in aqueous-rich media, in addition to shape recognition.     

Vibrational spectroscopic encoding of polystyrene-based resin beads: converting the encoding peaks into barcodes

A detailed approach is described for the vibrational spectroscopic encoding of polystyrene-based resin beads by converting the infrared absorption peaks suitable for encoding (encoding peaks) into barcodes. Based on combining the FT-IR measurements and the quantum-chemical computations, the vibrational characteristics of p-tert-butylstyrene monomer, polystyrene and poly(p-tert-butylstyrene) resin beads are analyzed, which are helpful for the selection of encoding peaks. The vibrational spectroscopic encoding of polystyrene-based resin beads could be obtained by converting the wavenumber, intensity and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the encoding peaks into barcodes automatically through a computer program designed in our laboratory.     

The melt elastic behavior of polypropylene/glass bead composites in capillary flow

The melt extrudate swell and entry pressure losses are important characteristics of elastic properties during die extrusion of polymeric fluids. They are usually expressed with die-swell ratio (B) and entry pressure drop (ΔP_o). In the present paper, the die-swell behavior and entrance pressure drop of a polypropylene (PP) filled with A-glass beads were investigated by using a Rosand capillary rheometer to identify the effects of the filler contents and extrusion rate on the elastic behavior of the sample melts. The experiments were carried out under the conditions with an apparent shear rate range of 50–10⁴ s⁻¹ and a temperature of 190 °C. The results showed that B increased nonlinearly with increasing shear rate at the wall (γ_w), and increased linearly with the increase of shear stress at the wall (τ_w). With the increase of the volume fraction of the fillers B decreased nonlinearly. Similarly, the entry pressure drop increased linearly with the increase of τ_w, whereas the influence of the filler concentration on ΔP_o was insignificant in this case. Furthermore, B increased as a linear function of ΔP_o, and extension stress (σ_e) increased nonlinearly with increasing γ_w.
